When I tell you that I love you don't test my love, accept my love
      G           G/C      C             D                G
Don't test my love, 'cause maybe I don't love ya all that much

      G              D               Em           C
Don't ask what kinda music I'm gonna play tonight
     G          G/C                G           G/C
Just stay awhile,  hear it for yourself awhile
                G           D                    Em      C
And if you must put me in a box make sure it's a big box
             G      G/C              G            G/C
With lots of windows,  and a door to walk through
              G      G/C          G           G/F#
And nice high chimney,  so we can burn, burn, burn
     Em                  C                  G    G/C          G      G/C
everything that we don't like and watch the ashes   fly up to heaven
                     G    G/C    G         G/F#  C  G
Maybe all the way to India,  I'd like that

G               D          Em         C
All the ancient kings came to my door
                             G                 D
they said do you wanna be an ancient king too?
              Em        C               G              G/C
I said oh yes very much, but I think my timing's wrong
                  G       G/C                   G         G/C
They said time is relative,  or did you misread Einstein? 
                     G      G/C
I said do you really mean it?
                              G              G/C
They said whaddya think we've come here for?
            G                    G/F#  C   G
our goddamn health or something?

G           D                  Em   C
Everybody's waiting for the Messiah
             G      G/C               G      G/C         G       G/C
The Jews are waiting,  Christians are waiting,  also the Muslims
                      G      G/C                    G         G/C
It's like everybody's waiting,  they been waiting a long time
             G           G/C                G                G/C
I know how I hate to wait,  like even for a bus or something

             G         G/C               G     G/C             G      G/C
An important phone call,  so I can just imagine   how darned impatient
                  G      G/C                G        G/C
Everybody must be getting,  so I think it's time now 
          G          G/C            G   G/C            G    G/C  G
Time to reveal myself,  I am the Messiah,  I am the Messiah
                G             G/C            G    G/C
Yes I think you heard me right,  I am the Messiah
                      G        G/C                G              G/C
I was gonna wait 'til next year,  build up the suspense a little
                 G           G/C                  G    G/C 
Make it a really big surprise,  but I could not resist
                                    G     G/C
It's like when you got a really big secret
                        G            G/C 
You're just bursting to tell someone
                            G   G/C                  G        G/C 
It was sorta like that with this,  and now that I've told you
                         G      G/C
I feel this great weight lifted
                 G    G/C        G         G/C

        G         D         Em      C     G      G/C        G       G/C
I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem, mm Jerusalem,  sweet Jerusalem

And all I ate was olives,  nothing but olives,  mountains of olives
         G            G/C               G      G/C
It was a good ten days,  except for the olives
      G           G/C                 G       G/C     G         G/C
No, I like olives,   about the way I like you,   as a condiment
          G                D             Em          C   G            G/C
